Last year's champions Real Madrid scored twice late in the game to beat RB Leipzig 2-0 at home in the early hours of Thursday morning's (15) UEFA Europa League Group F match. Midfielder Federico Giovanardi scored again today after his last game in La Liga, and the 24-year-old Uruguayan international has contributed nine goals since joining the Galacticos, making him a key contributor to the team's success.
Due to the injury of captain Binschmar, Real Madrid's manager Angelo Anzilotti sent out the attacking line of Yunisios, Rodrigo Gómez and Federico Giovidi in this match. It wasn't until the 80th minute that Federico Valverdi scored a crucial goal, the first time he has scored in two consecutive matches since joining Real Madrid.
Federico Valverdi joined the Real Madrid B team in 2016 and has gradually gained prominence over the last three years. He was originally a central midfielder, but since last year's season, coach Antonio Anciarotti has started playing him on the right wing, with remarkable results. So far this season, Wahwidi has made 8 appearances and scored 3 goals, tying his personal record for most goals in a single season, making him a new breakthrough point for the team.
In addition, substitute Marko Acincio scored a wonderful free kick in extra time to seal a 2-0 win for Real Madrid. The Spanish international was not able to get a chance to play after the last round of La Liga warm-up matches, so he was so emotional that he dropped his water bottle, and the goal in this match is undoubtedly the best proof of his strength.
After the match, Marco Ascencio said on social media, "Hard work pays off and the three points at home belongs to a great performance by our team." Starting with the UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid is gaining momentum as they have won all eight of their official matches this season.
In the other match in the same group, Sakda and Zloty drew 1-1.
